Alex Segade and Malik Gaines, in cooperation with "6 Months," presented a monthly series of interactive staged-readings. Participants came together on the second Monday of each month to act out selections from theater works. These informal studies sought to apply pressure to the aesthetic and political tensions built into the chosen texts. By mirroring two pieces, the contrast lead to further understanding of the work. Performers will include artists, academics and professional actors, as well as people who just show up.
